We get it, Alonzo Mourning – the NBA reached its peak during your heyday. Stars from back then would dominate to an even greater extent today, and stars from today simply wouldn't have dominated back then.

Dwyane Wade isn't the player he used to be. As the 33 year-old Miami Heat legend indicated in a 109-102 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, though, that hardly means he's not a superstar – or won't be as his career continues.

When the Cleveland Cavaliers need a bucket and LeBron James gets a head of steam, it's easy to forget that The King is 30 years-old and been in the league for 12 seasons. Does this look like a guy who has lost some athleticism?

The Toronto Raptors need to get back on track before the playoffs start just a few weeks from today. If the team's opening possession of its game against the Miami Heat on Friday is any indication, tonight might be the time Kyle Lowry and company finally stop "getting their asses kicked."

Pat Riley has been blessed. Not just with basketball talent as a player, coach, or executive, but the Miami Heat president has also been lucky enough to count himself as a member of arguably the NBA's three glitziest franchises.

Hassan Whiteside's boorish attitude might doom him almost as quickly as his dominant play this season has made him one of basketball's best stories. Following the 25 year-old's ejection from Monday night's loss to the Boston Celtics, Dwyane Wade said it's high time for Whiteside to take responsibility for his actions – or otherwise risk ensuring his renaissance will be short-lived.

Despite the summer loss of LeBron James, 2014-2015 hasn't exactly been the season the Miami Heat envisioned. This latest news ensures that next year will have the chance to be. The team announced today that All-Star forward Chris Bosh will begin exercising later this month following a February diagnosis of blood clots in his lung. Barring no setbacks, he'll be fully prepared when Miami's training camp opens in September.
